The weekend is right around the corner, so I thought I'd pass along my weekend plans to close out 2010's Oregon Craft Beer Month:
Saturday: Baliey's Taproom 3rd Anniversary Barrel Aged BeerFest
213 SW Broadway
12-Close
I plan to arrive late afternoon after an appearance @ Portland's Annual Schnauzer Walk (Freebird and I foster mini-schnauzers occasionally). Seriously looking forward to:
- Full Sail '09 Black Gold - Imperial Stout aged for 1yr in Bourbon barrels
- Oakshire Very Ill Tempered Gnome - Strong Ale (Best in Fest from last year's Holiday Ale Fest) aged in a Pinot barrel for 5 months
- Deschutes Pinot Twilight - Pale Ale aged in Pinot barrels
- Caldera Mojli - Imperial Porter aged in Bourbon barrels
- Firestone Parabola - Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon barrels
- Hair of the Dog Cherry Adam - Old Ale aged with cherries in Bourbon and Sherry barrels
- New Holland '09 Dragon's Milk - one of my new favorite brewers from the Great State of Michigan - Strong Ale aged in Oak barrels
- Lompoc '08 Bourbon LDS - Strong Ale aged in Bourbon barrels
- Three Skulls Wreckage - Barleywine aged in Bourbon barrels
Sunday: 16th Annual Bones & Brew
Technically Saturday 11am-9pm & Sunday 11am - 5pm in the Pearl District
Freebird and I will be grabbing a late lunch before picking up Gooney & Hop Hater & Twins @ the airport.
30+ Microbrews, a Kobe Bleu Ball eating contest and dog friendly - why would anyone miss it?
Hope to see you there!
Prost to Oregon Craft Beer Month, Bailey's and Bones & Brew!
PS - a reader actually picked Freebird out of the crowd @ OBF this year. You know who you are. Comment that you found her. I'm impressed!
